What is Szechuan Shrimp?

The Szechuan sauce is a sweet and spicy thick sauce. You need some basics for any Asian dish: soy sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar. Plus you will need some sweet chili sauce as the base of the sauce and a bit of cornstarch for a thick sauce.

The shrimps must be deveined, cleaned and with the tail still attached —I buy frozen shrimps that are ready to go. The tail gives an extra flavor and they look really appetizing.
